Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

What isn't there to love about my students? They are tenacious, hardworking, and determined individuals. They roll with the punches and have overcome many adversities in the last 2+ years. We are requesting some basic supplies such as copy paper and pencils to keep our learning environment organized and fully stocked. There have been significant budget cuts this year and money is tight. We will use the copy paper to print out pages from the digital Science investigation notebooks. We go through pencils very quickly and stocking up ensures everyone is able to write, draw and calculate their best. We have requested some additional materials, to help keep our group work materials organized and make our learning environment engaging.
